Hear from Our Successful Franchisees

I currently have a student who started doing maths at four years old without even knowing how to write or count beyond 10.

Within two years, he began studying material that is typically five years beyond his age.

For me it is wonderful how Kumon can cater to the needs of each child.

It was a huge commitment to give up a full-time job for the uncertainties of starting a business. But once I decided to take the plunge, Kumon provided support in terms of training and location search, and I eventually took over a centre in Pasir Ris.

When my students come up to me and tell me their little accomplishments like “I can do additions!” or “I completed my work in 15 minutes!” I feel a great sense of achievement.

I had a student who cried whenever faced with Math problems. Now she is learning about 3 years ahead of her school grade and told me she wants to complete the whole Math programme.

I was looking for an alternative to live in the present, to be present for every milestone of my child.

Ever since I opened my own Kumon centre, my experience has been fantastic! Being a Kumon Franchisee has not only allowed me to spend more quality time with my kids and have the lifestyle I want for my family and myself but also achieved financial stability.

Watching my children and my students grow gives me the greatest joy and fulfilment. And the best part is I am building my own dream, not someone else's.

It was my younger days’ dream to have my own “school of sorts”. I don’t have the years to learn or build teaching methods or materials from scratch, so it is essential that I find something that closely presents my beliefs & preferences regarding how I would like to nurture students. I reviewed many of the different options for franchise businesses and decided on Kumon.

Kumon is a very structured and “tested” program with detailed documentation of its ideas, methods and material. Not to mention, the Instructor training was very helpful in getting me on board.

The most satisfying part of this journey is witnessing changes from nothing to something, from something to something better and better. These include growth in the students, the parents, the team and me.

I’ve been helping many children out there, but I didn’t have time for my own children. I was very guilty about it and knew I needed to make some changes before regretting it.

It certainly took a giant leap of faith to decide to quit my job and start a business of my own. Now, I’m in control, growing my own business and better able to prioritise how I spend my time to allow more of it with my family and continue making a difference in children’s education.

I take pride in turning my passion for kids and education into a long and uniquely satisfying career as a Kumon business owner. Not only it is profitable, but also I managed to have the lifestyle that I want for myself and my family.

I have always had a deep passion and interest in working with young children. As a former teaching assistant in one of the Kumon Centres, I love watching the growth and transformation of many students, not just in terms of their academic ability but also their study attitude.

I was impressed with the Kumon Method. There and then, I made up the decision to open a Kumon Centre when I was still an undergrad. It became my first personal goal.

It has been more than 10 rewarding years since. I am thankful to be running my own business that is not only successful but also meaningful and rewarding!

After years in the classroom, I wanted more flexibility and ownership over how I taught.

Kumon Franchise provided a structured yet empowering way to continue doing what I love – guiding young minds. The training and support gave me the confidence to run my own centre successfully.

After years working in an automotive company, I felt that I needed a change to spend more time with my children.

Considering the flexible work arrangement and my passion towards children, I decided to join as a Kumon franchise owner.

I feel happy when I see my students improve academically and become more disciplined and responsible.

Being part of the Kumon team makes me enjoy my work and feel motivated because of the supportive team.

Other instructors will share their struggles and find solutions to a certain problem together with you so that you feel like you are not alone.

Not only that, the Kumon Field Development team will give you endless appreciation for your effort in nurturing young minds.

The Kumon Corporation is a strong and sustainable conglomerate that provides excellent learning opportunities and helps children maximize their true potential.

Through the franchising of the Kumon method, we aim to cultivate responsible citizens and talents, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of the global community.

When I started opening the Franchise center, I thought about the image of more children having access to a useful and effective educational method, Kumon.

This helps me have clear goals in guiding and operating the center.

When franchising Kumon, I always prioritize the students and focus on maintaining high educational standards.

My goal is to ensure that the benefits and core values of the Kumon Method are accessible to every student, especially those born in suburban areas far from the city center.

As a Kumon franchise owner, I'm not just running a business; I'm shaping futures. Every day. I witness the profound impact of personalized learning on students' confidence and academic abilities.

Being part of the Kumon family means empowering the next generation to reach their full potential, and there is nothing more fulfilling than that.

I started Kumon when it was very new here in the country. I learned so much because it evolved and it changed through the years.

I thought I knew a lot then, but I realized that there was so much more to learn.

And even after 25 years, I still continue to learn just like my students.

To future generations of Kumon instructors, you made the right choice in responding and committing to this noble call of duty to shape the young minds who can become independent learners, who can achieve their own goals because they have not only learned how, but because they have mastered the right way to reach their goals.

Being a part of Kumon has not only allowed me to contribute to the academic growth of countless students but has also enriched my own professional and personal development.

It's incredibly fulfilling to see them progress from struggling with concepts to mastering them with ease and I am proud to be associated with such a reputable organization.

My Kumon journey began as a parent concerned about her son's education. Witnessing the amazing results of Kumon method, I became a true ambassador.

Today, I own and lead the Kumon Nugegoda Centre, one of the fastest growing centres in Sri Lanka.

Partnering with the 60-year-old Kumon brand is what deepened my satisfaction as I get to see young lives transformed by the Kumon Programme.
